Cometic Ford 302/351W Windsor V8 .027in MLS Cylinder Head Gasket - 4.200in Bore - SVO/Yates - LHS

Starting with a .027 inch uncompressed thickness, this Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built for serious Ford Windsor V8 engines. It features multiple layers of stainless steel, with the outer layers embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant rubber material that can handle temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This construction is ideal for sealing aluminum heads to either aluminum or cast iron blocks, as it can withstand the shearing forces that can develop between different metals. The center layer is uncoated stainless steel, allowing for precise thickness control to meet specific engine build requirements.

The MLS design offers increased strength and the ability to rebound, helping to resist corrosion and maintain a solid seal even under the high output conditions found in modified engines. Because these gaskets are designed for maximum sealing performance, they typically do not require any additional sealants, making installation more straightforward. This gasket is specifically designed for a 4.200 inch bore and is suitable for SVO/Yates applications, fitting a wide range of Ford vehicles from the classic Bronco and F-series trucks to various Econoline vans.
